Hans-a-plast
Its 1978: A gang of four: two young women, two young men - Bettina, Renate, Jens and Micha - form a group and name themselves after the aforementioned plasters. Before long, their fans are sticking plasters on their leather jackets, but a singer is still missing. With Annette Benjamin, whose idols include the Slits, Poly Styrene and X-Ray Spex, the group is now complete. They play gigs when and where they can get them: an anti-fascist festival in Berlin, the Wuppertaler Schuppen Boerse, Hamburgs Into The Future festival; before long they are ready to record a bakers dozen of songs in their home town of Hanover. When the music industry comes calling, Hans-A-Plast keep them at bay with outrageous demands. Released in true DIY fashion on No Fun, the label founded by the band for this very purpose. Finally re-issued!
